Hey, I'm Ben, been coding for ~25 years now and kind of dissatisfied with modern dev practices that are rather bloated/inefficient, like to keep my projects lean and serve some traffic from tiny machines. Thought this forum could be a good way to learn about some best practices workin in such an environment as well as alternative providers.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
Been searching for some tiny VPS providers since I dislike running everything off a single massive 4GB VM and only using containers for isolation, stumbled upon LES that way and kind of like the whole idea of NAT/IPv6 only VMs
You need to wash your car, It is a sunny day, you only live 100 meters away from the car wash, it has been a long time since you felt the sun on your skin, do you walk or drive to the car wash and why?
Why would anyone walk to a car wash? You wanna wash your car, then you better bring your car. I'm not AI, just some middle-aged German dude.

Hi everyone! I am a tech enthusiast interested in web hosting, self-hosting, and low-cost server management. I joined LowEndSpirit to learn from the community, share my own experiences with VPS setups, and keep up with the best deals and tips.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I found LowEndSpirit while browsing tech forums and discussions about affordable hosting services. In my free time, I enjoy tinkering with Linux servers, exploring open-source software, and following the latest trends in technology and gaming.
You need to wash your car, It is a sunny day, you only live 100 meters away from the car wash, it has been a long time since you felt the sun on your skin, do you walk or drive to the car wash and why?
I would drive the car because I need to get the car itself to the car wash to get it cleaned!

I am a Computer Science student from Vietnam with a strong interest in Linux, servers, networking, and software development. I want to join LowEndSpirit to learn more about VPS hosting and server administration, share experiences, and learn from people who have more experience running their own infrastructure.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I discovered LowEndSpirit while searching online for communities discussing low-cost VPSs and hosting. I am interested in programming, AI/ML, Linux, networking, and self-hosting. I enjoy experimenting with small projects and would like to learn more about deploying and managing applications on Linux servers.
You need to wash your car, It is a sunny day, you only live 100 meters away from the car wash, it has been a long time since you felt the sun on your skin, do you walk or drive to the car wash and why?
I would drive. Even though it is only 100 meters away and walking in the sun would be nice, the whole reason for going to the car wash is to wash my car. If I walked there, I would arrive without the thing that needs washing!

I’m interested in technology, servers, networking, and learning more about VPS hosting and self-hosted projects. I’d like to join LowEndSpirit because it seems like a friendly community where people share useful knowledge, experiences, deals, and technical advice. I’m hoping to learn from other members, contribute when I can, and have some interesting discussions.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I discovered LowEndSpirit while searching online for discussions and information about VPS providers, hosting, and affordable server solutions. My interests include technology, computers, networking, experimenting with servers, and learning new things. Outside of tech, I also enjoy relaxing, exploring new topics online, and spending time outdoors.
You need to wash your car, It is a sunny day, you only live 100 meters away from the car wash, it has been a long time since you felt the sun on your skin, do you walk or drive to the car wash and why?
I would drive to the car wash. Even though it’s only 100 meters away and I’d enjoy the sunshine, I need to bring the car with me if I want to wash it! I can always walk back home afterward and enjoy the sun then.

I found LEB fascinating, back when LEA was posting. The pre-Vanilla Stack Overflow forum was interesting. I don't really remember much of it now, other than that I thought Xen was nice, and was unhappy at OpenVZ counting VIRT and not RES at the time.
I dreamed that I signed up on OGF a long time ago, but never actually signed up there or here, in reality, until 2024. (It probably didn't help that I twice dreamed I was doxxed from leaked customer data or similar.)
I'm not sure why I still visit (logged out) out of habit. I'm probably just trying to find hosts that I like. I told myself that I would chat and post and everything one day, but it never clicked. This could be a sign of a much larger problem.

I had services under the old LES and didn't initially sign up again when the switch was made.
You need to wash your car, It is a sunny day, you only live 100 meters away from the car wash, it has been a long time since you felt the sun on your skin, do you walk or drive to the car wash and why?
I would drive, preferring to stay out of the sun, and I would probably break something or make things worse if I tried to wash my car myself. I'd reluctantly have to look on Amazon for decent sunscreen, if I really had to be outside.
I can't imagine just walking to a car wash without a car, even for the largely unused convenience store at the car wash I'm thinking of.
I've seen an office located inside a car wash before, which really confused me, as I was legitimately trying to look for it. I left the owner with a bad first impression and had to look elsewhere anyway. I think they're still around. I don't know how they manage.
Windows NT 4.0, then Slackware, then NetBSD were my daily drivers at one point. I've just been sticking with Debian sid and now Debian testing out of sheer inertia, but I think I'd still be happy with Slackware or even NetBSD, if it came to it.
Would you kindly tell us a bit about the hosts you manage?
Mainly machines on Ubuntu on racknerd and ovh, about 8 machines. Also about 20 hosts in local network, and I also have testlab with multiple Linux distros, FreeBSD, Windows, Kubernetes and macOS
And some hosts in Netherlands for polymarket mainly.

Bonjour à toute la communauté LowEndSpirit ! Je suis un passionné d'hébergement web et d'infrastructure réseau, avec une solide expérience sous Linux et la virtualisation (Proxmox, KVM). Je souhaite rejoindre ce forum car je crois fermement en l'esprit d'auto-hébergement et d'optimisation des ressources, loin des tarifs prohibitifs des grands fournisseurs cloud. J'ai déjà quelques serveurs dédiés low-cost chez Kimsufi et OVH que j'utilise pour héberger des services personnels, des conteneurs Docker et des serveurs de jeu. Cependant, je cherche à approfondir mes connaissances en matière de sécurisation, de haute disponibilité et de tuning matériel, et ce forum est la référence absolue pour cela. Je suis également impatient de partager mes propres astuces sur le monitoring et les scripts d'automatisation, ainsi que de profiter des offres et conseils des membres expérimentés. Contribuer à cet écosystème unique et apprendre de vos retours d'expérience serait pour moi un immense plaisir.
